It's a Mealy state machine, it should be encoded as a state machine! Why some folks will absolutely insist that a series of manually-written case statements in a single thousand line function is the epitome of style, when there's

If anything, the history of libraries show you can get really really far by applying a sytematic organizing principle, even if it's WRONG(TM). Librarians may fret that some books are hard to categorize, but library patrons successfull

Cars are particularly bad these days, where once they were a model of streamlined usability. My father-in-law's van has three large knobs next to each other on the dash. Which one adjusts the volume, which one the fan speed, and which

You seem to see through the deception, but most don't. The whole policing house of cards is built on the idea that they "stop crime". They don't really, as you point out. In general, they do a pretty terrible job clea

I suggest that we work to bring about a world where policing is unneccessary, even unthinkable. I refuse to accept the premise that we must consider any individual event in isolation -- we are all connected and all of our struggles our co

I was working a shift at the coop on Monday and was pleasantly surprised when two women in extravagantly oversized, feathered and sequined outfits came in on their way home from the parade. So yes, I do live in this community. I don't
